Here is the dampener. Its bracket has two bolt holes. I used one of the existing bolt holes from that pigtail bracket we removed earlier and then just used one of the large self tapping screws for the lower bolt. I angled it to clear the transmission. the fittings available at the hose shop only had these long ameriacn inverted flare fittings, so I had to go with 5/16" inverted flare and an adaptor (the purple things in the pic) to go from 5/16 to 10mm inverted flare. I also went with stainless line, so it cost more there too, but it protects it from all of the sharp bracket edges it encounters and it looks sweet! don't forget to connect all of those sweet hoses!!!!


Back to the pigtail bracket... to install it back in, you will need to either put a notch in the bracket (see the lower right had corner of the bracket) or remove that part of it. The lower right hand corner of the bracket pictured has a bolt hole in it. this can be bolted in the same hole as the top dampener bracket hole


Here is the reservoir. I bolted it straight up to the weld seam on the firewall with one self tapping screw. I only used one becasue the outer bolt would prolly go right thru the reservoir hose. I'll fix this issue in the future.

Below, you can also see the cruise control unit. what I did was removed the two brackets from the control unit and made my own out of the 2x5" piece of sheetmetal. the unit is still tucked in the same corner but now fits above the weld seam on the firewall, instead of below. I left out the rubber grommets from the old bracket just *** of time constraints, but I'd recommend putting them in. My job looks ghetto, but I only had thanksgiving weekend to complete this and the B15 tranny swap, so cut me some slack.


now all you have to do is bleed the system, just like your brakes, except you will want to start at the dampener, then the slave.
I used DOT5 (rather than DOT3) brake fluid for that added clutch engaging performance!!!
